The subject of pregnancy and childbirth are very close and dear to my heart. Three events related to the miracle of birth occurring at different stages in my life have caused a growing interest and a search throughout the Bible to discover important links between the natural and spiritual aspects of life created and sustained by our Creator and Heavenly Father. Moreover, 3 years spent on my brother´s farm in France have taught me many spiritual and practical lessons, one of them being the yearly birth of sheep and goats and the assistance that these animals require all the way to the time of delivery of their little ones.
God in his infinite wisdom has given us finite creatures, the curiosity, imagination and thirst for knowledge to conceive and fabricate instruments to measure time and space.
One of these instruments, the hourglass, although archaic, except for boiling eggs! served its purpose when it was invented. I chose it as a visual illustration of the greatest event in all of human history, the dividing of time between BC and AD, the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is as if God took an hourglass made in heaven and chose the narrow passage between the two parts as the dividing line between past, present and future. When the time allotted from the birth of Adam to the birth of Jesus had run its course, it is as if, God took the divine hourglass, turned it upside down 180 degrees and is still letting the grains of sand measuring time run down until his purpose is accomplished concerning the age of grace in which we are living.

The biblical concept of correlation between the natural birth and the spiritual birth in that order is to be found and confirmed by Scripture. Paul, in the chapter about the resurrection of the body explains: “…So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit. The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.… 1 Corinthians 15:45-47.
Additionally, the Lord Jesus during Nicodemus nightly visit explained the new second spiritual birth. In John 3: 3-7:Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” “How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit. Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again."
Pregnancy and childbirth, natural and spiritual
If the Word of God be true, and it is, proven by the verifiable historical context of 1000s of years of fulfilled prophecies, then, all the events described in the pages of the Bible, referring to human births, miscarriages, the spiritual new births of individuals, families, groups of people, nations and the inexorable aspect of the passing of time involved in these processes lead me to conclude that we are indeed living in the last days.
The Word mentions “birth pains“ as a major sign because it has been the longer in continuous existence since Adam and Eve and everybody alive at any time had a mother and a father. Well, at least until now when man in his arrogant and prideful rebellion, is changing the laws concerning the nature of marriage between man and a woman and legalizing wholesale, unrestrained abortions, which in itself is a confirmation of prophecy announcing the time of the end.
There is something about the gestation period that does not give us the luxury of choosing a middle ground between life and death. Within the time frame of more or less 9 months, the growing baby in the womb is going to be born dead or alive. We have a choice in the matter, but the baby unfortunately does not.
We know who the Lord of life and the Living Word is. His name is Jesus. We also know that the destroyer of life is satan. History has proven, centuries after centuries that he is a real personality and not an invention of uneducated, backwards believers in myths concocted to instill fear designed to indoctrinate and enslave weak, credulous masses of inferior people into submission to a ruling elite class and their subordinates.
Now we can connect the illustration of the hourglass to the miracle of childbirth. Are we now part of the last generation that is witnessing the inescapable motion of downward pull towards the next phase of history?
The Bible is replete with marking the span of periods of prophetic visions and dreams and their fulfillment exactly as the Lord spoke through His anointed prophets. This historical fact is undeniable.
Then, why did God choose to liken the period in which we live to a woman giving birth? By the way, the Spanish and Portuguese translation is to “bring forth to the light”, interesting!
Prophetic voices
Just as with the grains of sand in the hour glass, "gravity" is the dynamic moving element driving the process of childbirth. Again, the Portuguese word for a pregnant woman is "uma mulher grávida."
